For phylib, yes, we have to live with this unknown state. so these
patches are O.K.

For phylink, i would like Russells opinion. It would be better if we
could avoid having the third state. Maybe we need a couple of cycles
where if the MAC says nothing, but the PHY negotiates EEE, we issue a
warning? We might then get an idea of how many systems are in this
unknown category, and can encourage MAC driver Maintainers to add the
missing EEE support.

Russell?
